Grog would have had water to lengthen it.

I always add water to my drinks… it smooths it’s out.

Totally dug the Cartoon inserts!

Add the ice!

Spike's outta pocket for this one 😂

“You need the ice” - dilution is the solution, apparently.

This is one of my favorite rum templates for trying rums that differ regionally and by age. Smuggler's Cove book suggests shaking with ice and strain to an old-fashioned glass with a large ice cube. I shake with a large ice cube and then open pour.

I had decided to make an old-school grog tonight. Mainly I remembered it was super easy and good… I was telling my husband (Jeff) about how they didn’t use ice in the 1700s and then we settled down to watch our favorite show, Spike’s. What’s he making? A 1700s grog! Anyway, I cheated and shook ours with ice. Definitely so much better. Glad I wasn’t a pirate!

HA!

Wasn't grog made with water in the royal navy? Or maybe this is the landlubbers variation. Anyway you do you.

I'm sure after a 14 hr day on a boat....any booze was amazing.

Only time they had ice 🧊 when they pass by icebergs 😳you two are too much 🥰💕😬

I've made The Grog at home many a time, and I always water it down some. It needs dilution to be what it should be.

Really? I definitely dig the cocktails and the music. I'm not into kitsch and the LARP, all-in, lifestyle BS. I do appreciate the respect for the authenticity of the past, but nostalgia is this tricky liminal world, and the adherents are mostly muffin-topped dorky dudes in Aloha shirts with homely barren wives reluctantly tagging along. The demographic is almost set in stone. In the end, it's people looking to have a harmless good time... life is short

Great episode! Love the animation, maybe Matt can animate the characters he drew on the breezetonians for a cool feature!

Team destiny for sure!

I tried something similar recently with Irish Whiskey. Before ice became widely available in Ireland, the most popular mixed drink was a "punch" made from 2 parts water to 1 part whiskey with sugar added to taste. I tried it out of curiosity, but tbh it would have been way better with hot water like a regular hot toddy. Cocktails need to be either ice cold or hot; there is no in-between.

Its basically a daiquiri

Hamilton Black pot still old fashioned in hand, happy Friday to anyone who reads this!

This will be interesting with some Supasawa.

We tried this one shaken and double-strained into a coupe, and it was a bit more drinkable.

That was ridiculous. In a really fun way. Destiny was a great guest! I love the return of spike and the camera. Damnit you're going to make me pay you on Patreon for this? I've literally never done that before, but for you sir, I just might.

Glad you enjoyed it! When I add the outtakes to the end of the episode, the viewer retention hits the ground, thus limiting the exposure of the video by KZread. So this is my way around it.

Hello from Canada eh.

Can you do an episode on were you get your shirts?? You’ve got some of the best Hawaiian shirts I’ve seen, and I can’t find anything like them online.

Is the difference between a grog and a dacquiri just ICE?

I've made this several times since watching the episode and I just love it. I also love Ti' Punch, same concept really, just different rum. I prefer this with the ice BTW. Mahalo! [Rum.Lime.Sugar]

Couldn't agree more!

Why not make a drink that would go into the mug you're trying to advertise? Missed opportunity

aloha from Tacoma

so... it's bassically an unchilled daiquiri? Or is a daiquiri just a specific modern grog?

@BreezewayCocktailHour

Yeah, it's like a room temperature unshaken daiquiri in a glass.

Speaking of Hamilton - I’ve got two bottles of breezeway on order with Chips. Looking forward to some Mai Tai’s!

For the record I don’t teach her to drink that way!

Jim Ross would be proud

two and a half minutes in and I have to interrupt. There was ice in the 1700s. There was ice in ancient Rome. The same methods used to cut and keep ice in the early (pre-refrigeration) 20th century, was being used in the 19th and 18th century, and for centuries before that. But you lose no points because you are serving grog, which was a traditional nautical drink, where ice was to be avoided.

Sorry man but that's not grog. Grog from the 17 and 1800s was just diluted rum with 4 parts water to 1 part rum. Apparently some sailors chose to add sugar and citrus to improve the taste, but this wasn't a defining feature. Ive even come across one book from the 1800s that said adding lime and sugar to grog made it into a cold punch.

Just following a recipe 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don't know what to tell you.

The frequent jump zooms, especially at the beginning, make this really difficult to watch. Ease up on the overuse, it’s too distracting and takes away from the actual content, IMO.
